- Rigolets abstract "The Rigolets is a 12.9 kilometer (8 mi) long strait in Louisiana. It begins at 30°10′40″N 89°44′40″W and follows a generally eastward course to Lake Borgne which is a lagoon in the Gulf of Mexico,and the Gulf of Mexico., where it ends at 30°09′16″N 89°37′31″W. Along with nearby Chef Menteur Pass, the Rigolets connects Lake Pontchartrain and Lake St. Catherine to Lake Borgne and then to the Gulf of Mexico. It forms the boundary between New Orleans (Orleans Parish) and St. Tammany Parish. "Rigolets" comes from the word rigole, French for "trench" or "gutter." The name is locally pronounced "RIG-uh-leez."As a deepwater tidal pass, the Rigolets helps supply salt water from the Gulf to Lake Pontchartrain. Tidal scouring has produced a deep pit in the lake at the western mouth of the strait. Since the Rigolets is a channel through which Gulf storm surges can approach the New Orleans area, there are proposals to construct floodgates.Fort Pike was constructed to protect the Rigolets.The Rigolets is spanned by two bridges. The western terminus of the U.S. Route 90 Rigolets Bridge is located immediately north of Fort Pike. It has required major repairs following damage caused by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. Farther south, the CSX Railroad crosses the Rigolets on a 1,388-meter (4,555-ft) railroad bridge. Hurricane damage there included shifted spans and the loss of timber decking.".
